The Kawasaki three cylinder 500 street bike comes to mind.
Very powerful past 5000 RPM...
Also controlled local mosquitoes.

I also owned four Jaguars during my misspent youth.
They were in order of my ownership:

1960 XK 150 S roadster
1957 MK VII sedan
1966 E type Roadster
1966 E type coup.

The first two came equipped with the Lycock-Denormanville two speed overdrive.

Yep, I stripped some paint in the engine bay of my Spitfire with brake/clutch fluid.

The firewall shelf. I loved working on Triumphs. Built in seat on front wheels.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who sat on the front wheels to work on a Triumph. Good times.

I'd like to get one again as a hobby car, but my better half is against the idea.
